This is a lovely spacious pub that consists mainly of a large pillared high ceiling single room. Worth seeing is a feature that is not common now, that is a partition by the bar that separates it slightly from the rest of the pub. The purpose of these partitions was to separate drinkers standing in front of the counter from the more genteel customers who may be seated in the lounge area.

Historic Interest

This former Truman house was rebuilt in 1935. The pub's original name, the Saracen's Head is not unusual for a pub, and derives from the Crusades in the Middle Ages. The soldiers brought home souvenirs of their skirmishes with the infidel and displayed them in alehouses. Moreover the crusading knights, whose landowning interests often included inns, were apt to insert a Saracen's head on their coat of arms.
